Vijeta Limited took over assets worth Rs. 10,00,000 and liabilities of Rs. 3,00,000 from Gupta Ltd. for a purchase consideration of Rs. 12,00,000. Vijeta Ltd. has given a bill of Rs. 2,00,000 and agreed to settle the remaining purchase consideration by issuing shares at a premium of 25% on face value of Rs. 100 per share. How much amount will be credited to the securities premium reserve account in this case?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Balance payable in shares =12,00,000−2,00,000=10,00,000= 12{,}00{,}000 - 2{,}00{,}000 = 10{,}00{,}000.

Issue price per share =100+25=125= 100 + 25 = 125.

Number of shares =10,00,000/125=8,000= 10{,}00{,}000 / 125 = 8{,}000.

Securities Premium =8,000×25=2,00,000= 8{,}000 \times 25 = 2{,}00{,}000.
